And of course the nba removes the concussion protocol off their website

I know this is the link because Simon pollock posted it at the end of this article:

I’m pretty sure there is a part that requires 72 hours of monitoring before playing:

A player in the concussion protocol program can’t return to the floor until the following:

He is without concussion-related symptoms at rest.
He has been evaluated by a physician.
He has successfully completed the NBA return-to-participation exertion protocol.
A team physician has discussed the return-to-participation process and decision with the Director of the NBA concussion program, Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher.
Ultimately, the decision as to when a player will return will be made by the team physician.
